Our story
Body Fat USA is a locally owned body composition testing facility in Denver, Colorado, offering DEXA scans and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) testing for more than a decade.
Founder Milt Murphy started Body Fat USA after searching for a place in Denver to easily and accurately get his body fat tested—and not finding one. After trying DEXA and seeing how much more detail it provided than hydrostatic weighing, the Bod Pod or bioelectrical impedance, he built the facility he wanted to use himself.
Our mission is simple: provide accurate data that helps you safely reach your individual health and fitness goals. We are a testing facility—not a coaching program or a supplement company—so we focus on objective measurements you and your trainer, dietitian or physician can trust. We measure; you and your team decide what to do with the data.
Milt Murphy
Founder
Milt is a self-described amateur workout junkie whose training changes with the seasons—from weightlifting, CrossFit (since 2014) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with his son to golfing, biking, hiking and surfing. He once set out to get below 10% body fat and learned firsthand how hard that number is to reach; today he is happy in the mid-to-high teens and enjoys his food.
Milt graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder in 1996 with a degree in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. His vision for Body Fat USA is accurate, easy-to-get data that helps people stay motivated and measure their true progress.
